Inositol
Inositol – Finland

 

Inositol is an important nutrient found in every cell of the body, and one which the body can also produce itself. Many foods contain inositol. The inositol used by Djusie is made from sugar beet as a by-product of sugar production. Inositol strengthens cell membranes, supports the skin’s keratinization process, and strengthens its protective barrier. In addition, it boosts the activity of the mitochondria, which are responsible for the energy metabolism of cells, i.e. cellular respiration – it thus enhances cellular metabolism and improves the oxygen supply to the skin. Inositol has also been found to enhance the production of filaggrin, which is a very important protein in the skin’s protective barrier. Inositol is an effective and multifunctional active ingredient for all skin types, especially for sensitive, dry or sagging skin, and for the treatment of fine lines, as it increases skin elasticity and prevents signs of ageing.
